Any 3d Modellers out there?

Do we have any 3d modellers here? I am in need of a modeller for a game I am making. I can't pay anything, but you will be in the credits. I need human models, guns, items, scenery, etc. I'm building a FPS. Let me know if anybody is interested in forming a team.

No, i mean I need someone who CAN model. I'm no good at it, and I was hoping there was someone here who is.

i doubt that you could get someone to do it for free. i do some 3d modeling in my spare time sometimes, but i defiantly wouldn't go to the extent of modeling the whole sha-bang without some kind of compensation.

I can do it! I would do it... I need 3DSMax 7,8 or 9. Legally? If you want I don't care how I get it but I know how to make 3D models of stuffs!

@ Dr. Killgood: Do you have any examples of your work?

good luck getting 3ds max legally, its like $5000.

its been a while since i modeled anything. maybe if you would put a big list of things you need up lots of people could contribute a little rather than one person contributing a lot.

what program do the models need to be made in, and what are you doing with them (ie, modding some existing game like generals?)

i use lightwave. its a lot cheaper than a lot of the othder programs and its still quite powerful. i think that the educators version is something like 200 or 300 or something like that and the commercial version is 750-800 last time i checked. but educators = you can't use to make games your planning on distributing to a lot of people which =

But I'm pretty sure that Unreal Tournament was made using lightwave.

Use Milkshape... It's cheaper and does the same thing. Max is a buzz word used to boost sales, anyone who's worth a grain of salt artwise should know that it's not the program. It's how you use it.

khaag... how many projects do you have under your belt so far?

Well I have GMax but it sucks and you can not make textures only put a plain texture on things, no unwrap them and make it real nice. I am not the best 3D modeler but I can do it! If you want say something you want me to make and ill see what I can do. I suck at making people and vehicles.

This will be my first attempt at 3D, but I've got a few 2D things under my belt.

Well there are some good models in this topic. http://benheck.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=18588. The PC Source code for grand theft portable. there are cars, ben heck model, and othet 3d models. And it's free to download.

I still would like to know what khaaq has in mind here. Im no expert in the field, but I dont think you can just make a 3d model in any program you feel like then slap it into any game engine you feel like.

I mean, maybe you could if you wrote the game engine yourself, but I hope thats not whats happening here (look what happened to GTP).

You're exactly right. I need it to be in .3ds format. Later, I will convert the models to .X (Direct X) .3ds just seems to be the easiest to convert. Anyways, if anybody is actually interested in forming a team, let me know, and post some examples of your work. BTW, it will be programmed in DarkBASIC using the FPSC engine.
